Matt Martin wasn't taunting his opponent Monday when he signaled for the trainers to check out the guy he had just dropped in a fight. Rather, the New York Islanders forward seemed genuinely concerned about his foe's condition.

Martin KO'd New Jersey Devils tough guy Tom Kostopoulos during a first-period scrap. The two squared off after Martin checked Stephen Gionta. Martin caught Kostopoulos flush on the jaw with a right that sent him to the ice.

Kostopoulos did not return to the game.

"I think he will be all right," Devils coach Peter DeBoer told reporters.
